Topic: Forced to buy beer (Read 5093 times)

We moved in May. I pretty much moved the whole house myself, one mini-van trip at a time. I had no time for brewing, and I have now run out of beer. I have some in the fermenter, but it won't be ready for a little while. This is the first time I've actually had to buy beer sine 06.

I know how you feel! Back when I was in grad school, by brewing calendar got destroyed. I still like to buy the occasional mix pack for variety, but I hear you on the price. Craft used to be around $7-$9 a sixer around here. Now, it's at least $9. Makes me glad I brew! Much more economical!

love kellerweiss, its my go-to hefeweiss when I am in the mood for one, which isn't all that often, hence why i don't brew that style but once every couple of years.

$10 a six?? man that is highway robbery - I live in a rather high cost-of-living county, and it goes for $7.99 at the grocery, $7.49 at Total Wine, that sux man!

culturing the yeast is a great idea - I've a friend who is a HW nut - he's been using kellerweis yeast since the first six pack hit the shelves, and it is makes a great product - I think he's won 3 medals so far and he's currently fermenting a dunkelweiss with it - can't wait to see how that turns out!

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Strangely I haven't felt like drinking lately. I have plenty of great Colorado beer in the fridge, a nice IPA and Amber on tap. Don't feel like drinking any of it. Nothing wrong with short breaks here and there I suppose...I buy the occasional 6 pack or two when I don't feel like drinking what I have on tap. Goose Island is usually around 7 or 8 bucks for a sixer. That or there's always my old standby for cheap times, that's right: PBR.
